Each year, it’s easy to delay back-to-school shopping until the last minute. Luckily, the Operational Services Division’s Statewide Contracts have you covered!
OSD has several Statewide Contracts suited perfectly for K-12 schools and administrative offices. With Statewide Contract (SWC) GRO42 K-12 School Nutrition Products, Buyers may purchase Organic and Non-Organic Produce through Category 1. Additional categories under GRO42 are set to launch in the coming months to supply Buyers with groceries and locally sourced food.
Supplies are another big part of school year prep! Whether it’s for the classroom or for the office, OSD’s Statewide Contracts continue to have you covered. SWC OFF51 School Instructional, Arts & Crafts, Recreational and Therapeutic Supplies, is perfect for classrooms at all levels. Meanwhile, SWC OFF53 Office Supplies, Recycled Paper and Envelopes, helps schools and offices stay organized with the stationary they need. For schools prioritizing sustainable purchasing, you may find plenty of Environmentally Preferable Products (EPP), primarily via OFF53’s paper and envelope products.
Additionally, SWC VEH110 supports schools in planning for transportation needs. Category 11 of VEH110 offers school buses in various sizes, ideal for transporting students of all ages.
Recently, OSD Category Managers Michael Barry, Amanda Ferdinand, and Kelly Thompson Clark discussed these Statewide Contracts on the official podcast of the Operational Services Division, WOSD News.
